Image Color Picker
See a color in an image and need the exact code?
Kayefi’s Image Color Picker lets you upload a photo, screenshot, logo or design and pick a color directly from the image. Move across the picture to inspect individual pixels, click the color you want, and get its HEX, RGB, HSL and RGBA values ready to copy.
It is useful when you are trying to match a website to a brand image, identify a color from a screenshot, reproduce a design color, or simply answer the question: “What color is that?”
Your image is processed in your browser, so you can inspect a local file without uploading it to Kayefi.
Pick a Color From Any Image
Upload an image and move your pointer over it.
The tool reads the pixel underneath the cursor and shows the corresponding color values. Click to lock the color you want to keep.
You can copy the values directly:
HEX for web colours and design systems.
RGB for screen-based colour values.
HSL for working with hue, saturation and lightness.
RGBA when you need an alpha value as well.
This is particularly useful when a colour needs to move from an image into CSS, a design document or another digital project.
Pick Colors From Screenshots
A screenshot can contain exactly the colour you are looking for.
Maybe a client has sent a screenshot and you need to match the button colour. Perhaps you want to reproduce the blue from an existing website, identify a background shade, or capture the colour of an icon.
Instead of guessing from what you see on screen, upload the screenshot and click the relevant pixel.
For the most accurate result, pick a solid section of the image rather than a blended edge, shadow or antialiased border.
Pick a Brand Color From a Logo
A logo can contain several shades that are easy to approximate but difficult to reproduce exactly.
Use the picker to sample the colour directly from the logo artwork.
Once you have the HEX value, you can use it in:
- Website CSS
- Buttons
- Backgrounds
- Headings
- Brand documents
- Social graphics
- Design systems
If you need several colours from the same image, use Kayefi’s Image Color Palette Extractor.
What Is a HEX Color?
HEX is a common way of writing a digital colour using six hexadecimal characters.
For example:
#2563EB
The first two characters represent red, the next two green, and the final two blue.
HEX is widely used in CSS, website builders and design tools, which makes it a convenient format when you are moving a colour from an image into a website.
What Is RGB?
RGB stands for red, green and blue.
A colour can be represented as:
rgb(37, 99, 235)
Each number represents the amount of one colour channel.
RGB is useful when working with screen colours, canvas applications and software that expects numeric channel values.
What Is HSL?
HSL stands for hue, saturation and lightness.
Instead of describing a colour through red, green and blue values, HSL describes:
Hue
The colour family.
Saturation
How intense the colour is.
Lightness
How light or dark the colour appears.
HSL can be particularly useful when you want to adjust a colour while keeping its basic hue.
Why the Exact Pixel Matters
What looks like one flat colour can contain many nearby shades.
A photograph may have highlights and shadows. A screenshot may have anti-aliased edges. A logo may have subtle gradients.
Picking from the wrong pixel can therefore give you a colour that is close but not actually the one you wanted.
Kayefi reads from the image itself rather than asking you to estimate the colour by eye.
Tips for Better Color Sampling
Choose an area that represents the colour clearly.
Avoid sampling:
- Shadows
- Highlights
- Text edges
- Transparent edges
- Blurred areas
- Strong gradients
If you are matching a brand colour, sample from a large, solid part of the logo when possible.
If the image has been heavily compressed, remember that compression can introduce small colour variations around edges and fine detail.
What Can You Do With the Color?
Once you have the HEX, RGB or HSL value, you can take it into another workflow.
For example:
HEX → CSS
color: #2563EB;
RGB → JavaScript
const color = “rgb(37, 99, 235)”;
HSL → CSS
background: hsl(217, 83%, 53%);
You can also continue from the picked colour into Kayefi’s Color Converter or Color Harmony Generator.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I pick a color from a photo?
Yes. Upload the photo and click the part of the image containing the colour you want.
Can I pick a color from a screenshot?
Yes. Screenshots are one of the most useful applications for an image color picker.
Can I get the HEX code?
Yes. Kayefi displays the HEX value for the selected pixel.
Can I get RGB and HSL values?
Yes. The tool provides HEX, RGB, HSL and RGBA values.
Does the image get uploaded?
The image is processed in your browser for the supported workflow. It does not need to be uploaded to Kayefi’s server simply to sample a colour.
Can I extract several colours?
For multiple colours, use the Image Color Palette Extractor.
Find the Color Instead of Guessing
Upload the image, move across the area you want to inspect, click the colour, and copy the value.
The right colour is usually already in the image. Kayefi simply helps you find it.
